Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

My father and all four of my uncles served in WWII, one in the second landing of D-Day. Three of them became centrist establishment Republicans, and I often wonder what they would think of the GOP and the direction of our country now.

Regulation does not impede progress. It only impedes liars, grifters, poisoners and profiteers. The people who benefit from regulation are the many, and the people who benefit from deregulation are the very, very few who think exploitation of others is a benefit
